San
Diego, CA - San
Diego’s “Chopper The Biker Dog” has long established his support for
the military. So when he became aware of the Wounded Warriors
Project, he
knew he just had to do what he could to show these heroes just how
much he appreciated their efforts. At the same time, Chopper wanted
to help spread the word to the public about this worthwhile
organization along with the size and scope of their efforts on
behalf of these men and women who have given their all in service to
their country… and now, because of their severe wounds suffered in
combat, need our help in return.

So
from May of this year until his 2nd birthday (August 3rd),
Chopper decided to donate $1 from the sale of every “Chopper The
Biker Dog” Patch to the Wounded Warrior Project. At every
appearance during this 3 month period, Chopper made it a point to
bring the Wounded Warrior Project to the attention of his fans. And
it worked.

On
the morning of August 3rd, Chopper appeared on KUSI to
do a live interview discussing the Wounded Warriors with Marcus O.
Barnes, manager of the "Warrior to Work at Wounded Warrior Project".
Then, Chopper and his owner, Mark Shaffer, rode over to San Diego Harley
Davidson to hook up with riders in the local HOG (Harley Owner’s
Group) chapter who proudly escorted him to the Wounded Warriors
Office in Liberty Station (the old Naval Training Center Facility).

There, Chopper, Shaffer
and the HOG members were greeted by the staff of Wounded Warriors.
KUSI was present to record the event.

Chopper rode his little Harley Davidson bike right into the office
and presented a check for $300 to Norberto Norbie Lara, Spokesperson for the Wounded Warrior Project.

One
HOG member was so moved by Chopper’s efforts, he pulled out a one
hundred dollar bill out of his wallet and added it to the
pot, making a total contribution of $400.

Chopper would like to extend this challenge to the public: “I’m just
a biker dog, but if I can raise $300 to support the Wounded Warrior
Project, I wonder what all of you can do to
show your appreciation of these wonderful young men and women who
gave their all and now need some help getting back on their feet? I
ask you: Please show your support.
